In order to make sure that your WebQuest stays aligned with your unit, you will need to copy and paste 3 things from your Stages 1 and 2 from your unit for Dr. Grace's class. (This will also help Dr. Theresa give you better feedback on your Intro, Task, and Conclusion.) Then you will write your first drafts of your Introduction and Conclusion.
G.R.A.S.P.S
(Feel free to copy and paste what you have for the GRASPS portion of your unit for Dr. Grace in Stage 2.) Goal: To convince your audience that the Howl's Moving Castle book or movie is better. Role: A wildly popular podcaster. Audience: The general population and Barnes and Nobleexecutives. Situation: Barnes and Noble wants interesting reviews about whether the Howl's Moving Castle book or movie is better. Product/Presentation: An audio recording/podcast. Standards (six categories for each rubric) Presentation Rubric: Stays on Topic (20%), Preparedness (30%), Comprehension (10%), Enthusiasm (20%), Speaks Clearly (10%), Time Limit (10%) Product Rubric: Voice - Conversational Style (20%), Voice - Consistency (10%), Attention-Grabbing Opening (15%), Supporting Evidence (25%), Organization (20%), Duration of Presentation (10%)
Understanding(s)
Big Ideas
Big Ideas
•Knowledge of book/movie
•Strong claims
•the movie can not be the exact replica of Howl's Moving Castle it was based off of due to the amount of information in the book.
•claims must be supported, be it from literary or real life evidence.
(Copy and paste the big understanding(s) you have listed in your unit for Dr. Grace in Stage 1 (the answers to the essential questions). What are the academic goals for the unit (which will also be the purpose of the WebQuest)?)
Introduction
Welcome webquesters! Today, you will be answering the question that has torn apart families and friends, that has started wars...The eternal question...
Is the movie better than the book?
Oh, you might be laughing now, but that won't be the case when you find someone who disagrees with you. Let's hope for your sake that you don't like them very much.
Since man has been able to record movies, this question has been in debate. Just which is better? The book? Or the movie? Today is no different. Which do you like better, Howl's Moving Castle book or movie? Just think on it.
(Set the stage, give us any background info that we might need to know (but just a hint), this is your HOOK. Provide a segue to the Task . . . make your reader want to click to the next section. There should be nothing that sounds like school work in this section. Don't give away what's going to happen in the Task.)
Task
You are a wildly popular podcaster. Scrolling through Facebook, you notice that Barnes and Noble looking for new and interesting reviews about books and movies. The prompt for this review is "Movies vs Books, Which is Better?" You decide to create a podcast to send into Barnes and Noble to convince them that the Howl's Moving Castle book or movie is better. The chosen review will win a $100 gift card to Barnes and Noble, and the book or media that the review was supporting.
(This story should match the Task Description/Summary from your unit in Stage 2 (Through what authentic performance task will students demonstrate understandings?). You can copy and paste from Dr. Grace's wiki.Tell the story of the Role, Audience, Situation, and Product & Performance. Be a story teller. Save any classroom-specific information for the Process. Build the scenario and stay in character. You can reference the Introduction but try not to duplicate the information that's in the Introduction. Be sure to write this in second person ("you work for an international design firm" "you and your colleagues at the television studio" "your team wants to submit the winning entry"...))
Conclusion
Congratulations!! You have successfully submitted your podcast for review. Barnes and Noble will get back to you about how much they liked your podcast. Don't worry too much. As long as you made strong claims and knew what you were talking about, you're certain to win. Until next time!
(Tie everything the participants have done back to the Goal. Why did they go through all of this? Tie the scenario to the real world. Remind them of the "Big Idea" that they were supposed to gain from this, just in case they didn't make the connection on their own. Don't get preachy. If you ask a question here, it has to be rhetorical. No work or assignments should be included. Short is good.)
